for my entire life i always kept a spare key in my pocket so i would not lock myself out of my cars/truck... one day i go to the car wash and did not have the key in my pocket and said to myself to not lock the door to the car. i left the car running, got out, locked the door and then pushed...
i also don't want automatic locks on doors or automatic windows. just more things to break. it just happened today that Mom accidentally locked the car and the spare key is also in the car, but we'd just popped the trunk so i was able to unlock the seats and then crawl through the trunk and...

it was tuna caserole yesterday for lunch with the nephew when he came over and then left-over meat loaf for a snack later.
then last night Mom made two more meat loaf pans (smaller this time too) because she put ketchup on the ones she made the other day and the person she was going to bring...
i don't even know what a deep cleaning is. the prices in the above messages make me cringe. there's no way i'd spend that much for a teeth cleaning. i just went a few weeks ago to have my teeth cleaned and it ran $125. they wanted to take x-rays but i declined that yet again. i even had to...
